Cleaning the appliance
X
Clean the hob after every use in order to prevent food
residues from burning on. Cleaning dried-on and burnt-
on dirt requires more effort.

To clean everyday dirt, use a soft cloth or sponge
with water and a suitable cleaning agent. Follow the
manufacturer‘s advice with regard to cleaning agents.
We recommend using protective cleaning agents.

Remove encrusted dirt, e.g. from milk that has boiled
over, with a glass ceramic hob scraper while the hob is
still warm. Please follow the manufacturer‘s advice with
regard to the scraper.
X
Remove sugary foods, such as marmalade, that have
boiled over with a glass ceramic hob scraper while the
hob is still warm. Otherwise, this could damage the
glass ceramic surface.

Remove melted plastic with a glass ceramic hob
scraper while the hob is still warm. Otherwise, this
could damage the glass ceramic surface.

lime-dissolving solution, e.g. vinegar or lemon juice,
when the hob has cooled down. Then clean again with
a damp cloth.
